Benefits of technology

The present method does not require a reduction process which usually uses a highly toxic hydrazine hydrate solution. This avoids the health hazards associated with hydrazine hydrate solutions.

Problems solved by technology

However, for a long time scientists suspected that graphene may not exist in reality, since a two-dimensional planar atomic layer was considered as a part of a three-dimensional structure hat cannot stably exist alone.
As is well known, a hydrazine hydrate solution is a colorless and transparent oily fuming liquid, smells of ammonia, will smoke in humid air and has strong alkalinity and moisture absorption, as well as being classified as a highly toxic substance.
It will cause an explosion, if inadvertently brought into contact with an oxidizing agent.
In addition, if a hydrazine hydrate solution is absorbed by a human through, for example, inhalation, ingestion or absorption through the skin, it will be harmful to human health.
Repeated skin contact with hydrazine hydrate solution over a long period of time could poison a person working with the solution, such as the operator of the method described in CN103046151, potentially causing dizziness, nausea and other symptoms.
Accordingly, the method described in CN103046151, which uses hydrazine hydrate solution as a reductant for reducing “intermediate of a graphene-regenerated cellulose blended fibers” to produce “graphene-regenerated cellulose blended fibers” may be an unsafe process with high risk that is dangerous to an operator.

Abstract

This application describes a method of preparation of a natural graphene cellulose blended fiber, which comprises using a graphite powder as a raw material for preparing a graphene solution, adding the graphene solution to a slurry formed by mixing and dissolving a wood pulp with N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO), removing the water content thereof to form a spinning dope, and then spinning the spinning dope by a Dry-Jet Wet method to manufacture a natural graphene cellulose blended fiber. The present method does not require a highly toxic hydrazine hydrate solution. Further, by increasing the adding ratio of the graphene solution in the manufacturing process, control of the antistatic properties and thermal transferring functions can be achieved, and thereby various requirements of different consumers can be satisfied. Besides, the fibers can decompose naturally after being used, and thus the product is harmless, natural, and environmentally friendly.

Description

FIELD OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a method of preparing natural graphene cellulose blended fiber which is a green environmental process in the technology field of manufacturing natural cellulose fibers. The method includes using graphite powder as a raw material for preparing a graphene solution, adding the graphene solution into a slurry formed by mixing and dissolving wood pulp with N-methylmorpholine N-oxide, and removing water content from the slurry to form a spinning dope, and then spinning the spinning dope to manufacture a natural graphene cellulose fiber. The fiber can naturally decompose if discarded after being used, and is harmless to the natural environment, thus it is an environment friendly fiber.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Graphite is a layered material formed by carbon atoms stacked in orderly layers in a two-dimensional planar network. Since the force between the stacked carbon layers is relatively weak, a graphite layer can ...
